Topic Presentation: Is That Reef Thing You Say True, or Did Someone Just Tell It to You? Making Decisions About Your Reef in the Face of Millions of Contradictory ‘Facts’.

Speaker room - Friday, September 09 3:00 PM

Reef keeping is as much an art as it is a science. There is so much that we don’t understand about what actually goes on inside our boxes of water that we must rely on cultivating a ‘saltwater thumb’ for success over time. Building that saltwater thumb, however, can be a daunting task. There are a million opinions on every aspect of reef keeping, and today's reefkeeper can access those opinions through websites, magazines, online forums, or those antiquated paper book thingies. All that information seems great at first glance, but it turns out that you can find support for every aspect of the hobby regardless of how 'fringe' it may be. The question is, how do you sift through all those opinions to make decisions about what to do with your reef tank? In this presentation, we'll talk about how to deal with conflicting information, and methodologies for making decisions about the different opinions and products that are available to the modern reefkeeper.
